Specific use of guideline-based, multidisciplinary management is emphasized, as illustrated in the Immuno-Oncology Essentials Care Step Pathways.Immune checkpoint inhibitors have improved clinical outcomes in many malignancies, including renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Awareness of potential adverse events and effective management of these toxicities is critical to maximizing clinical outcomes. Pembrolizumab plus axitinib is approved as front-line treatment of advanced renal cell carcinoma (aRCC), making it the first checkpoint inhibitor and tyrosine kinase inhibitor combination approved for any malignancy. Given overlapping toxicities with this combination, the toxicity profile of each drug must be considered when assessing and managing toxicities in patients treated with pembrolizumab and axitinib. Use of online resources, including published guidelines from ASCO, the Immuno-Oncology Essentials Web site, and other organizations, can assist oncology and nononcology health care professionals to more effectively manage toxicities, maximize clinical outcomes, and improve quality of life for patients with aRCC. Herein, we describe a case of a patient with aRCC treated with pembrolizumab and axitinib, highlighting a systematic approach to toxicity management.Patients diagnosed with stage III melanoma who have undergone curative-intent surgery still remain at relatively high risk of disease recurrence. Recently approved adjuvant therapies with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have brought increased relapse-free and overall survival rates. However, they have introduced a new range of side effects that can be difficult to diagnose, are challenging to treat, and may have lifelong consequences for patients. Oncologists and other members of the oncology care team should be aware of these side effects, including atypical presentations, and be prepared to intervene to prevent increased morbidity and mortality. Oncologists also need to have a low threshold for referral to other subspecialists, as many of these immune-related adverse events (irAEs) need to be comanaged using a multidisciplinary approach. Herein, we present a case that illustrates challenging presentations of endocrinopathy and hepatic irAEs in a patient with stage III melanoma receiving ICI therapy in the adjuvant setting.On June 10, 2019, the US Food and Drug Administration approved pembrolizumab for first-line treatment of metastatic or unresectable human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive and HPV-negative recurrent head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) based on the KEYNOTE-048 phase III study. Pembrolizumab is now the first anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) therapy approved in the first-line HNSCC setting. Pembrolizumab is approved as first-line monotherapy for tumors that express programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) or in combination with chemotherapy regardless of PD-L1 expression. see more As the indications for immunotherapy for HNSCC broaden, practitioners will need to know how to recognize and manage more immunotherapy-related toxicities. The following case study provides insight into the assessment and management of the specific immune-related toxicities of dermatitis and mucositis associated with pembrolizumab-chemotherapy combination therapy using Immuno-Oncology Essentials guidance. Assessment and early management of immunotherapy toxicity is critical, as is a multidisciplinary approach.Purpose To identify clinicians’ perceptions of current levels of implementation of cognitive rehabilitation best practices, as well as individual and consensual group priorities for implementing cognitive rehabilitation interventions as part of a multi-site integrated knowledge translation initiative.Method A two-step consensus-building methodology was used, that is the Technique for Research of Information by Animation of a Group of Experts (TRIAGE), including a cross-sectional electronic survey followed by consensual in-person group discussions to identify implementation priorities from a list of evidence-based practices for cognitive rehabilitation following traumatic brain injury and stroke. Thirty-eight professionals from three rehabilitation teams (n = 9, 13 and 16) participated, including neuropsychologists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, educators, clinical coordinators and program managers. Descriptive statistics were used to document the perceived levels of implementation as local needs and contexts from the early stages in the process.Purpose Communication disability, including aphasia, is prevalent in the stroke population and impacts service delivery. This study explored the experiences of the multidisciplinary stroke team in delivering healthcare to patients with aphasia.Materials and methods A phenomenological approach was used to understand the experiences of delivering healthcare services in the presence of aphasia. Healthcare professionals (n = 16) were recruited across acute and subacute stroke care, with a range of discipline backgrounds and experience. Participants took part in focus groups and data were analysed using an inductive thematic approach.Results Five themes were evident 1) aphasia is time consuming, 2) health professionals do not know how to help, 3) health professionals limit conversations with patients with aphasia, 4) health professionals want to know how to help, and 5) health professionals feel good after successful communication.Conclusions Aphasia disrupts usual care. Health professionals want to help but are working in a non-optimal environment where communication and patient-centred care are not adequately resourced. A video abstract is available in Supplementary Material.IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONCurrent hospital systems and ward culture make it difficult to offer patient-centred care to patients with aphasia.Health professionals want to help patients with aphasia but are working in an environment where patient-provider communication is not adequately resourced.As a result, health professionals dread, limit or avoid talking with patients with aphasia.Health professionals need support which may include ongoing education and on-the-job training, and a change in ward culture including key performance indicators focusing on patient-provider communication.
